College Town (Re)Visit - Part 1

When the air quality was unhealthy due to the Bobcat fire in the Angeles National Forest these past few weeks I took to the road to visit my old college town of Claremont, about 25 miles east of Pasadena. Happily, though the air quality was generally unhealthy everywhere, it was good in Claremont!

Over the course of several morning runs, I had a chance to see Claremont anew, in a way that I hadn’t as a student.
